Then they broke something different. Anyway, building all of KDE with
cmake 2.6 works compeltely fine - using 2.6cvs here, which is rc9 right
now.

The thing is that for example the language library doesn't use any
symbols from libkio, so I don't see why we would need to link against
it. Sure other libraries that libkdevplatformlanguage uses might link
against libkio, but that doesn't mean it needs to link to those too -
AFAIK.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for fixing stuff, but we first need to find
out where the error comes from, because building everything from source
works just fine, so the problem might be in the packages from debian.

Alex probably means the complete output from gcc for linking.
